“Other people use tarot cards to divine their fate. I use them to rewrite it. Sure, it only works thirty percent of the time, but that's still better than the world ending!!!”
Yu Xing Chen, a history teaching assistant, is a sarcastic cynic who firmly believes in “science above all.” One day, he inherits his aunt's antique shop and accidentally awakens the spirit of The Fool in a mysterious tarot deck, dragging him into an absurd war that will decide the fate of the world.
His partner is Bai Zhou, who calls himself a “Guardian”: a silver-haired heartthrob with an absurd level of combat prowess, no common sense, and memories as tangled as a ball of yarn mauled by a cat. As the two evade the mysterious organization known as “The Hanged Man” and retrieve out-of-control tarot spirits, they discover that every card's awakening triggers an outrageous “reality bug”:
- The Magician turns an entire street into a circus, making passersby perform as human cannonballs.
- The Lovers makes the whole city go lovestruck. Yu Xing Chen and Bai Zhou have to pretend to be a couple to resist the effect.
- Death doesn't kill people, but sends them back to the moment they regret most in life. For Yu Xing Chen, that means reliving the nightmare of failing a university course...
